This was such a fun class. The chef was so personable. He took his time and made sure we were doing everything well. The food came out tasting amazing. I can't wait to make this dish again. I would definitely take another one of these classes. It was a great couple's activity.

Went to Chef Harold’s sushi class and it was awesome! It was a perfect date night. It is very laid back and Chef Harold is a great teacher who has everything well prepared. I was shocked to at how well everything tasted. The sushi we made in class was some of the best I’ve had! It’s shocking how amazing sushi tastes when you eat it right after you roll it.
